Without trying, the Atlanta Falcons are distracting the New Orleans Saints

The Atlanta Falcons and New Orleans Saints do not mix well, it doesn’t matter whether you are talking about the fans or the teams, they do not work together.

There has been endless trolling between the two teams throughout the years, but now the Saints are more worried about something that happened five years ago than a game between the two teams that takes place in just over two weeks.

The New Orleans Saints are randomly bringing up the Atlanta Falcons’ history that they had nothing to do with

It didn’t take long for the Atlanta Falcons to become sick of the ’28-3′ jokes, within the first year it became stale, but here we are over five years later and a “professional” football team is still stuck on it.

At this point, it is honestly sad how long it takes people to get over things. This happened 2,027 days ago……

In addition to this, the Saints are also so obsessed with the Falcons that they put that score up during practice.

What else can you say? Aren’t they supposed to be professionals who are focused on improving their team? Why are they so worried about something that happened over 2,000 days ago that they had nothing to do with?

Weren’t they also the team that was sitting at home to end the regular season with a record of 7-9? Oh, and guess who accounted for two of those nine losses? The same team that they are strangely obsessing about.

Not to mention, there are just three players from that Super Bowl that still play for the Falcons — those being Jake Matthews, Grady Jarrett, and Deion Jones.

Some might argue that the Falcons have done similar things like when they put up “visitor” instead of displaying “Saints” on the scoreboard not too long ago, but at least that was actually an original idea and not something that has been used thousands and thousands of times.

Their team is obviously wasting time thinking about the Falcons, while the Falcons are actually focusing on making themselves better.

It is ironic that the Saints would troll the Atlanta Falcons about playoff collapses when they consistently blow it in meaningful games

The Falcons have plenty of ammo to fight back, so much so that I do not even know where to start.

Let’s get this out of the way first, the Saints only have a Super Bowl because they cheated, and cheated in a way that is straight-up disgusting. Who actively tries to end the careers of opposing players? I guess the Saints do. And if the Houston Astros don’t deserve a trophy in the public’s eye then the Saints shouldn’t either.

Not to mention their “Super Bowl” took place when Kyle Pitts was nine years old, not exactly recent.

Now, for the good stuff, the Saints have more playoff collapses than any team in the league. Think about the Beast Quake playoff game where they lost to a team with a losing record, the Minneapolis Miracle, and the pass interference no-call. There are so many more to choose from.

Call me crazy, but it is worse to choke multiple playoff games than to just choke one game.

The Saints should get over the ’28-3′ joke as it is so stale and most people do not find it even remotely funny anymore. After all, when has there ever been a joke that is funny after hearing it thousands of times over the course of five years? Jokes are meant to be retired after you tell them a few times.
